Hi, that is just a beautiful capture, the quality of your shot is tremendous…I am also a big fan of owls they are just so soft, I like the Barn Owl and the European Long Ear Owl although, they are all amazing…
Excellent shot.

I have to agree with Mark. Stunning shot. The clarity and expression are fantastic. I can see why this has won competitions.

Thank you so much for lovely comments Mark and Denise.. I am so critical of my own work that I love it when I get 1 shot that I actually like.. I am learning so much from this course and forum.. Hope to get more shots like this.. :)

What a fantastic capture and beautiful detail. The eyes are amazing. I just love the way he is looking straight at you.

Your owl is beautiful. Was is taken at a zoo? I was lucky enough to get a shot of a great horned owl in my neighborhood last spring. He was sitting in a tree only 8 or 9 feet above me! I posted it in the forum but will be happy to post it again.

Nice shot Marianne.
Darume, if you wish, you could start up a new Thread in "Weekly Photoshots and post your owl shot above. Then all members can follow on and post some of their own owl shots. Just an idea. This could be ongoing for some time.
I am sure there are many members with owl shots! Marianne, you could again post your shot there also.

Oh wow Marianne, he is simply stunning!! So regal looking. Thank you so much for sharing him with us..

Cheers
